    VERDICT: Sure to be a crowd-pleaser with fans of Lincoln Peirce’s “Big Nate” or Scott Seegert’s “Vordak the Incomprehensible.” Readers will eagerly await further adventures from Steve and his classmates. “It’s hard to take over the world when you still have a bedtime.” While that is true, Steve L. McEvil has bigger problems than bedtime. Middle school is always tough, but knowing that your ancestor stole Atlantis is a hard family tradition to uphold, even if you have a Death Bot named DORKUS (Drone Of Remarkable Knowledge, Usefulness, and Skill). Among other trials, Steve has to deal with the crush he can’t talk to, a goodie-goodie new kid, a sister who…

  • Meet Dad McEvil

    One of the things I love to include in every comic I create is the Easter Egg. One of the big ones in STEVE L. MCEVIL is the character, Dad McEvil. Dad is absolutely based on my character Darin from Imagine THIS, as well as the hoo-man character from HOW TO CAT. But there’s a reason for that! Each of these characters are all, sort of, based on me. AND, believe it or note, this character is actually an iteration, of an iteration, of an iteration, of a caricature I made of myself almost two decades ago. Only, I don’t wear glasses these days, nor am I that…well, thin. But…

  • Booklist Review

    “Kids who love anything relating to superheroes and supervillains will appreciate this funny, fast-paced comic.” Steve L. McEvil might be the son of an out-of-work cartoonist, but he is descended from a long line of the world’s greatest super villains. His grandpa was the latest in the family to hold the title until his recent retirement, which has left the crown up for grabs. Young Steve is keen on following in his grandpa’s footsteps, but his villainous undertakings run into a road block when Vic Turry, a new kid at school with a strong sense of righteousness, begins foiling all of Steve’s evil plans. However, when the two are paired…

  • My Name is Steve L. McEvil

    And I am THE GREATEST SUPERVILLAIN IN THE WORLD! Or…I will be. It’s hard to take over the planet when you still have a bedtime. Right now, my grandpa Tiberius McEvil is teaching me how to pull off my nefarious schemes. Though lately someone has been doing the job for me. These weird stones have appeared in town. Professor Stinger won’t stop droning on about wormholes. And no one is more villainous than my new neighbor Vic Turry. That guy is just so…NICE! Barf. Even Sierra, who rarely looks up from her geology books, is impressed by his good guy routine. But I’ll show them all. No one can outsmart STEVE L. McEVIL!…
